Immunoglobulin kappa light chain variable region gene complex organization and immunoglobulin genes encoding anti-DNA autoantibodies in lupus mice.
We have investigated the genetic origin of autoantibody production in several strains of mice that spontaneously develop a systemic lupus erythematosus-like disease. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analyses of gene loci encoding kappa light chain variable regions (Igk-V) demonstrated, as shown previously for the Ig heavy chain locus, that autoantibody production and disease occur in di...
متن کاملA Novel Immunoglobulin-Immunoglobulin Interaction in Autoimmunity
Well over six decades since its first description, the Rheumatoid Factor (RF)-autoantibodies recognizing Fc (constant) portion of IgG through their own Fab (antigen binding variable segments)-is believed to have come of age. Autoimmune pancreatitis is a unique form of pancreatitis, biologically characterized by an elevated serum IgG4 concentration. Given the fact that IgG4 myeloma proteins can ...
متن کاملTumor immunity and autoimmunity induced by immunization with homologous DNA.
The immune system can recognize self antigens expressed by cancer cells. Differentiation antigens are prototypes of these self antigens, being expressed by cancer cells and their normal cell counterparts. The tyrosinase family proteins are well characterized differentiation antigens recognized by antibodies and T cells of patients with melanoma. However, immune tolerance may prevent immunity di...

1) are expressed by CD8 ϩ T cells in a regulated manner during transitions between naive (low expression), activated (high), and memory (low) phenotypes. The physiological significance of these changes has been uncer-Ann Arbor, Michigan tain. Deletion of the ST3Gal-I sialyltransferase locus yields constitutive expression of nonsialylated core 1 O-glycans (Priatel et al., 2000). Expression of co...
متن کاملPrimer: Immunity and Autoimmunity
For nonimmunologists, a daunting and rapidly evolving immunologic vocabulary, our incomplete understanding of both normal and abnormal immune function, and multiple interrelated complex immune cellular pathways can be a barrier to using basic immunology to understand and improve care for patients with type 1 diabetes. Our task in this review is to introduce current immune concepts specifically ...
